To Fall Apart

Chapter 26

"Take care Andy."

I hugged Papa tightly.

"Yeah, take care of Venice too." I said.

Sinulyapan ko si Van na panay ang bilin kay Venice. We'll be leaving for our vacation today. One week vacation yun at maiiwan sina Venice at Papa dito. Papa will be at work but he promised to go home everyday to check on Venice. After all, we're like family now.

"Have fun." he said and kissed my forehead. I smiled at Papa.

"I surely will." I said and winked at him.

Hindi na din kami nagtagal pa ni Van at umalis na din kami. Papa and Venice drove us to the airport since they agreed to have lunch on the nearest restaurant there since neither one of them wants to cook.

I waved at Papa and hugged Venice when we got to the airport. Magkahawak kamay kaming dalawa ni Van na naglalakad sa airport. He smiled and held my hand.

"Excited?" he asked. I nodded like a child.

"Super!" I answered. Van chuckled before he kissed me on my forehead. I closed my eyes and feel the moment. My heart feel like it's going to burst any moment right now.

I mean, it's Van. It's him and me. That was enough to feel this overwhelming feeling.

"I love you." he whispered. I hugged his waist.

"Stay with me?"

"Always. And I love you too." I answered and he wrapped his arms around my neck and pulled me closer to him.

I hope this won't end.

We spent our first day inside our hotel room, watching movies and cuddling. Just like the old times. Para kaming naglalaro ng bahay-bahayang dalawa. But then, I cannot ask for more.

"What do you want for dinner?" Van asked while I'm inside the shower and he's outside. I stopped the shower so I can hear him clearly.

"I will cook!" I shouted back. I heard him chuckled.

"No, I got this."

"You cooked our lunch. I'll cook dinner."

"We aren't going to fight over this right?' he asked and I heard his voice getting nearer. I rolled my eyes at myself.

"Only if you'll allow me to cook." I said when he peeked his head inside the shower. My eyes widened and I immediately scoop a handful of water and sprinkle it to him. Van chuckled.

"Asshole." I mutter and he only laughed.

"I just want to see your red face." he reasoned out. I opened the shower and washed off some bubbles left on my body before I wear my robe.

I am already glaring at Van when I saw him leaning against the wall, grinning at me.

"What?" he asked innocently. I rolled my eyes.

"I'll cook." I said and he burst out in laughter.

Van came near me and hugged me from the back. I felt him kissing the top of my head.

"You're so cute."

"I know." I said and he laughed again. I cannot help but to smile.
